• This research focuses on the digitization and investigation of cultural heritage liaised with the practical requirements of conservators and museum curators. Different types of information are extracted about the physical characteristics of the artifacts, pigments preliminary identification and pigments distribution in addition to the colorimetric information. In this regard, a multi-spectral digitization system – named as “iwn” was developed to collect the required information from the cultural heritage objects. The system is portable, customizable, easy to use, in-situ, non-invasive and relatively not expensive. This paper will describe the specifications of the system showing its functions and capabilities through few case studies.
